How to Keep iPod Earphones from Tangling

Tangled Wire

Nowadays, who does not own an iPod Picture (Device Independent Bitmap)? …And who does not deal with tangled earphone wire? For most of us iPod owners, entangling earphone or headphone wires have always been a pain whenever you take your iPod out of your bag or pocket. It’s really difficult to keep it organized. I have put together some suggestions below that might work for you in keeping your iPod earphones tangle-free.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

·       iPod

·       Plastic Capsule

·       Coin Dose Dispenser

·       Air Tight Plastic Container

·       Credit Card and Scissor

·       Jam Jacket, Earbud Yo-Yo, Budtrap

1.      Step 1

      Logitech Bluetooth Headphone

      WIRELESS FREEDOM. I am a big fan of wireless technology Picture (Device Independent Bitmap) so I have to include this in my article. If you really want complete freedom, then go get yourself one of those wireless headphones. Logitech has one of the best bluetooth behind-the-neck headphones for iPod which provide excellent sound quality. It comes with a device that you plug into the headphone jack of your iPod integrating the controls to the headphone itself. I would say this is a cool iPod accessory but comes with a price.

2.      Step 2

      Proper knots will temporarily keep it organized.

      ART OF TYING KNOTS. I guess everybody can relate to this step. For most of us, we simply create a knot on the headphone hoping it will stay that way until our next use. But that is not always the case, so you need to learn the art of tying knots to keep it neatly wrapped.
      You can wrap the wires in a shape of “8” using your two fingers. Then tie the jack end around the middle and insert in one of the loops.
      You can also wrap it around your iPod as shown in my snapshot. But keep in mind that both of these methods put strains on your earphone wire which leads to deterioration in the long run.

3.      Step 3

      Air Tight Plastic

      AIR TIGHT PLASTIC. You can use one of those small air tight resealable plastic containers to keep your headphones tangle-free while inside your drawer, bag, or pocket. It will protect the earphones from liquid spills but it is not sturdy enough to protect it from damage when you put it in your back pocket and sit on it. Plastic container will also not last longer so you will have to replace it from time to time.

4.      Step 4

      Plastic Capsule Toy

      PLASTIC CAPSULE TOY. Do you know one of those small egg-shaped plastic capsules with small toys inside that you usually get from a vending machine for your kids? Well go get yourself one of those and give away the toy. Simply create a small wrap of your headphone wire and put it inside the capsule. Now no matter what you do, it will never tangle inside the capsule. The only thing is that when you put it in your pocket, it looks like you have a little egg in there. But hey it works like charm.

5.      Step 5

      Coin Dose Pill Dispenser

      PILL DISPENSER. If you can get one of those coin dose dispenser, then you can use it to contain your headphones. Not only is it made of sturdy plastic, it is also sleek and can put in your pocket without worry of smashing it if you happen to sit on it on your back pocket. You may have to remove the small divider in the middle which you can easily do with scissor or cutter.

6.      Step 6

      Picture (Device Independent Bitmap)

      Using Credit card

      IMPROVISE ON AN OLD CREDIT CARD. If you have an expired credit card or those that you receive from credit card companies when they have promos, you can put them to good use. Get a scissor and cut the card lengthwise in the middle. Round the sharp corners to avoid scratches. Cut two notches on opposite ends so you can put the earphone on one, and the jack on the other. Simply wrap the earphone wire in the middle of the card and insert earphone on one of the notches and the jack on the other notch.

7.      Step 7

      Gadgets

      GADGETS. There are gadgets out there that can help you with your problem. You can buy one of those Jam Jacket which is a rubber casing at the same time provides cord management. Another gadget you can buy is the Earbud Yo-Yo by which you wind your headphones up just like a yo-yo. Budtrap are also nice accessory to keep your headphone wire tangle-free, and it comes in different colors.

      I hope that this article help you keep your iPod earphone from tangling. Enjoy!

How to Replace Your MP3 Player for Free

How to Replace Your MP3 Player for Free

sansa sandisk 2gb

I've had alot of problems lately with buying things and having them die for one reason or another. I've gotten rather good at calling customer service Picture (Device Independent Bitmap) to have them replace it whether it is out of warranty or not.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

·       phone

·       serial number/model number

·       date of purchase

·       where you purchased it

·       customer service number of the company you purchased it

1.      Step 1

      customer service

      The first thing you need to do is have all your information handy when you call customer service so that when they ask for it, its right there and it will be relatively quick.

2.      Step 2

      shipping for free

      Second is dial the customer service number and ask for tech support. Explain what is going on with the MP3 player Picture (Device Independent Bitmap) and if they can't fix the problem (which in my case they couldn't) they will send a replacement and ship it to you absolutely free.

3.      Step 3

      Picture (Device Independent Bitmap)

      print your label off

      Next they will have you print off a shipping label so you can ship it back to them and when they receive it they will send out your new replacement.

4.      Step 4

      ebay and amazon

      I've had this happen to two different Sansa Clips by Sandisk that I had bought at Christmas last year and one the volume button broke and weirdly enough a couple days after they shipped me a new one for that, the other one broke too. They didn't even question anything most companies will replace a defective item within the first year regardless of you having a receipt or not. I got the one of my Sansas off of Ebay and the other from Amazon. All they needed were the serial numbers and they had no problem replacing both of them.

5.      Step 5

      be sure to check reviews on your MP3 player

      I have to say Sansa is a really great company and I'm glad when I did reviews on MP3 players Picture (Device Independent Bitmap) I went with them because they are so courteous and helpful. Always check reviews before making an important purchase it makes a world of difference.

How to Backup Photos While Traveling on Vacation

How to Backup Photos While Traveling on Vacation

Picture (Device Independent Bitmap)

Vacation Paradise

Have you ever been to a place so beautiful you never wanted to leave? But eventually you will have to leave and all you can bring back home with you are photos rendering the tangible memories of your trip. Whether you’re a professional photographer or just a hobbyist, you wouldn’t want to lose your precious photos because your memory card suddenly failed and corrupted the files, digital camera Picture (Device Independent Bitmap) stolen or misplaced, or simply run out of shot because your memory card is full.

Mak
ing a contingency plan to backup your photos while you are on the road traveling or on vacation Picture (Device Independent Bitmap) will save you from all the heartaches and headaches of losing your photos.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

·       Laptop Computer

·       Digital Camera with USB cable

·       iPod with iPod Camera Connector

·       iPod Media Reader

·       Memory cards

1.      Step 1

    Picture (Device Independent Bitmap)

    Connecting your camera to the laptop

    BRING YOUR LAPTOP. If you want to download your photos to your laptop immediately or at any point in time, then bring your laptop computer with you when you travel. It’s best to backup photos you have taken at the end of the day when you get to the hotel Picture (Device Independent Bitmap) to make sure they are safe no matter what happens to your memory card. This is the easiest and most convenient way to backup your photos. However, some people do not prefer to travel with a laptop for the simple fact that they can be a bit of a hassle especially when you do extreme sports or visit places that are not very safe.

2.      Step 2

    Picture (Device Independent Bitmap)

    Memory Card

    BUY EXTRA MEMORY CARDS. If you love taking a lot of photos when traveling, then I’m pretty sure one memory card will not be enough to hold everything for the whole duration of your trip or vacation. It is also not smart to bring just one memory card because we all know that sometimes they fail out of the blue corrupting the files, and all your memorable moments will be lost with it. This will also allow you to keep all your photos without the need to delete some of them to free up some space.

3.      Step 3

    Picture (Device Independent Bitmap)

    iPod Camera Connector

    USING YOUR iPOD. You can download photos from your digital camera directly to your iPod without a computer. Apple has an accessory called iPod Camera Connector which you plug to your iPod (around $29). You can then connect the USB cable of your digital camera to the iPod Camera Connector and your iPod will prompt you to import photos instantly. This is a very convenient way for average people to backup their photos on-site because it’s cheaper, compact and light. When you get back home, you can transfer the photos to your computer via iTunes. However, it is not recommended for professional photographers because the data transfer is sluggish (1GB will take ~45minutes) and sucks battery off your iPod as well as your camera.

4.      Step 4

    Picture (Device Independent Bitmap)

    Belkin iPod Media Reader

    USING iPOD MEDIA READER. There is a handful of third party media reader available as an accessory to iPod but I guess Belkin is the most popular. This media reader is plugged directly to your iPod’s port in similar manner as the iPod Camera Connector. The only difference is that you have to remove the memory card from your digital camera and insert it to the media reader slot. It is more expensive than the iPod Camera Connector but has speedy data transfer which can save you time and iPod battery.

5.      Step 5

    Picture (Device Independent Bitmap)

    Portable Multimedia Storage/Viewer device

    PORTABLE MULTIMEDIA STORAGE/VIEWER. You can buy a portable storage device to backup your photos by simply inserting your memory card to the card reader's slots. Almost every professional photographers use portable multimedia device because it allows them to backup one memory card while they continue to take shots without interruptions using a second memory card. It is the perfect companion to any digital camera. It offers large LCD screen, huge storage capacity, faster data transfer, travel-friendly rechargeable battery, connection to TV or projector, and the ability to print directly to your printer. It is more expensive though.

6.      Step 6

    Picture (Device Independent Bitmap)

    Internet Cafe

    CYBER CAFÉ. If you are familiar with the place you are visiting, and you know that it is easy to get access to the internet, you can always go to an internet café at the end of the day to upload your photos to Online Storage sites like Shutterfly or Flikr. This will work fine for average people taking photos with an ordinary digital camera. However, if you are a semi-pro photographer shooting RAW photos, you may need to have a premium account to be able to upload huge file sizes.

    So on your next travel or vacation make sure that you have a backup plan to protect your photos from unavoidable risks that may ruin everything. Goodluck!

How to Protect Your Writing in the Event of a Break-In

How to Protect Your Writing in the Event of a Break-In

Picture (Device Independent Bitmap)

print by Linda Hunsaker - www.lindahunsaker.com

These are tough times. I've had my home broken into in the recent past. The intruders took things. That’s bad enough, but if you’re a writer and want a truly icy feeling in the pit of your stomach, come home to a burglarized home and race into your writing space wondering what you’ll find.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

·       computer

·       CDs, jump drive, or portable hard drive

·       thoughfulness

1.      Step 1

    Picture (Device Independent Bitmap)

    And what are the target items of thieves these days? High on the list are electronics – what comprise the list of electronics exactly? You’re a writer. What’s your most precious ‘electronic’? Your computer.

2.      Step 2

    We’ve all been told over and over again “back up your work” against the possibility of a computer crash. A crash after which you may or may not be able to recover your work. Here’s another reason to back up and to set up permanent archives of your work that are off your computer. If someone simply takes your computer there is no chance of recovering your work. None, zip, nada. If you haven’t backed up your work to a safe place it is gone. Let me repeat that. Gone. Permanently.

3.      Step 3

    First of all, don’t shake your head and say ‘it can’t happen to me’. Don’t make me list all the people I, alone, know who’ve been ripped off from the smallest town to the largest city. People who have had security and those who didn’t. People who lock their doors religiously and those who leave them open. We’re all at risk. It’s that bad and that simple. And, as the police will tell you, it doesn’t matter what you do, if they really want to get inside, they will. Nice thought, huh?

4.      Step 4

    So, here’s what I do, and thank goodness did. All of my earlier published writings are backed up onto CDs and kept in a safe deposit box. Obviously you can use floppies or some type of jump drive for the same result. Just keep it somewhere safe, away from your computer, preferably out of your home.

5.      Step 5

    Works in progress I back up every day onto floppies, then burn permanently into CDs when finished and keep them in a fireproof box in the shop out of sight and away from my writing work space. The box is not locked. Against the possibility that a thief actually found the box you don’t want it locked. Locked means valuable and they’ll probably just grab the box and run with something totally useless to them but priceless to you.

6.      Step 6

    There are also some online storage facilities available where you can upload your material to have it kept safe at a location other than your computer or in your home. A little research and you’ll find several.

7.      Step 7

    Don’t forget your financial records. If you do your bookkeeping associated with your writing on your computer, be sure to back that up periodically as well and keep a copy away from your computer. And, be sure to keep a record of your computer’s serial number and purchase information tucked safely away. Having your name or some identifying code engraved on the metal panel inside isn’t a bad idea either. Very good for ID should the stolen property be recovered.

8.      Step 8

    One more tip. If you have locking filing cabinets, don’t lock them. Really, don’t keep anything valuable in them. They’re easily wrenched open. So, if you keep only files in them and the thief pulls the drawer open for a look all he spots is files and moves on. If you lock your files you’ll return to wrenched open drawers, broken locks and an overturned mess.

9.      Step 9

    Picture (Device Independent Bitmap)

    So be safe, do lock everything no matter where you live. Take precautions and most importantly protect that valuable, irreplaceable work – your writing.
